Bryce Harper launched a 116 mile per hour home run Tuesday evening in Washington, one of the more impressive home runs of the 2019 season. The home run came in a 6-5 loss to his former team, though, as they were swept in a double-header against the Nationals. The first loss Tuesday eliminated the Phillies from playoff contention. After the second loss, the Nationals celebrated a Wild Card berth.
Harper, though, remains bullish on the future of the Phillies, who he’s signed to play for through the 2031 season.
Prior to the Phillies season finale Sunday afternoon against the Marlins, Harper spoke to the fans at Citizens Bank Park.
